FrannyandZooey · 04/04/2007 21:24

Right you were all so helpful on the other thread but the skirt has turned up and it is all wrong for me

So now I need an A line skirt in a beautiful bold print which I can wear with a black top

WHICH I CAN BUY IN A SHOP BEFORE SATURDAY

for less than £40

[kicks harpsi as she steals all the duvet]

Greenleeves · 04/04/2007 22:41

and this one

hunkermunker · 04/04/2007 22:41

I've had an idea.

Don't wear a skirt.

Just a top.

And a sign that says "It's called a vulva, not a minkifoof" on your nethers.

Perfectly festive and appropriate.

Oh my god i want to go to bed but i really want to know this has been solved, i'm scouring the tinternet hopelessly. Its my dhs birthday tomorrow, i've not even wrapped his presents.

Franny you're like JLo. Do you also insist your drinks are stirred anticlockwise with the middle finger of a slovakian virgin?

FrannyandZooey · 04/04/2007 22:42

Ah collision, good idea but only out of town supermarkets here have the clothes

Cod but of course

I would say more like 32 times

Buy the black and white monsoon one. or wear something you already have.

I'm going to bed with mrs badger and harpsi (move OVER, I said! and give me a bit of the duvet please)

Lio · 04/04/2007 22:42

Oh god Califrau, would never go shopping with anyone else, this is first time have ventured onto a style thread (ha ha, you know why - I am wearing the Littlewoods rugby jumper you gave me as a hand-me-down almost 20 years ago )

harpsichordcarrier · 04/04/2007 22:42

PrincessPeaHead · 04/04/2007 22:43

AitchTwoOh · 04/04/2007 22:43

i didn't think it was so little, actually, but yes, it was yellow and black on the front page. i could imagine it with a black cardi, 50s stylee. i personally don't find that frumpy but there is a hint of repressed museum curator that i like.

hunkermunker · 04/04/2007 22:44

Repressed museum curator? You mean there's an uninhibited version?

collision · 04/04/2007 22:44

At this stage I would go with the ripped jeans, black top and a funky necklace or get myself on the next bus out of town and go to the supermarket and buy something!

And now I am off to bed hoping this is resolved by morning!

OrvilleRedenbacher · 04/04/2007 22:44

AitchTwoOh · 04/04/2007 22:46

sure there is, when they peel off their glasses and pull out their hair pins... seriously, i love that look. you should see my specs, green cats' eyes. very 'why miss jones'. of course when i take them off i'm a blinking fool so it rather falls apart then.
